Immunization is one of the most well-known and
effective methods of preventing childhood diseases. With the
implementation of Universal Immunization Programme (UIP),
significant achievements have been made in preventing and
controlling the Vaccine Preventable Diseases (VPDs). Immunization
has to be sustained as a high priority to further reduce the
incidence of all VPDs, control measles, eliminate tetanus and
eradicate poliomyelitis. India has one of the largest Universal
Immunization Program (UIP) in the world in terms of quantities of
vaccines used, number of beneficiaries (27 million infants and 30.2
million pregnant women) covered, geographical spread (29 States and
6 Union Territories) and manpower involved. India spends more than
Rs. 2000 crores every year towards immunization program (including
polio eradication)..
